Oh man im pooped! i still think the haircut and AV make me look older heh. We'll see anyway. I get to look at the pics on thursday.
Its been so dry here we are looking at power cuts this winter because there wont be enough water in the damms to power the country. Might be time to invest in a cycle powered tv! hehe.
So ive decided to install and set up my old 700mhz laptop into a myth and mame box for the car. It will fit nicely and keep the kids amused on longer trips. Its nice and thin too!
Taking the daughters cycling today - the youngest for the first time, she has a lot to learn!
its hot, and im sick to death of lazy ass kids who are determined to not do homework or anything else. All they want to do is sit on their asses and watch tv or play games.
ok decent update time. Its Valentines day today!! HORAY!
Im wearing all red today except my undies and jacket. Even my red sneakers, jeans and top. We do silly dressing themes at work for days (halloween is the most fun).
No cycling all week except taking the girls out. Today i pickup my Glamour photos ! woot! i cant wait!
Saturday i have family over for the night, sunday i meet sarah ulmer again and race, its a good week!
Hah! ive just discovered the Mosquito sound they use to deter kids from loitering (before they switched to barry manilow). its 17khz and can only be heard by people under about 25 years old.
So yeah kids are now using it as their ringtone so the teacher cant hear it in class. So i downloaded and played it, sure enough i cant hear a thing! My son and husband are all but writhing on the ground covering their ears telling me to stop!.
So now i have it on my phone, im gonna play it at work just to see who i can annoy with this high pitched noise that i cant hear
if you want to see if you can hear it go here
My range is terrible, i cant hear a thing until 14khz :O
Its just about how fast your hearing degrades - and everyones degrades some naturally over time. Mines clearly worse than others (no thanks to loud music im sure)
So, im at the office, thinking i should set it up as the startup sound on everyones computers.
Well I'm not going to abuse that photo, wishes, cause I see your eyes in there, and the person who could get out and create a neck, staring out of them.
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!
I hadnt ridden my bike in 3 weeks due to injury. So though i was fit i didnt hold much hopes for getting placings but i wanted to do an avg speed of 30 kms/ph.
I was in the first bunch for the most part of the race, and even lead the race for about 10kms! I totally pwned it! Then on the last lap at about the halfway back i started cramping bad (because of the weeks off) im guessing. so i dropped back a few places.
When i came in i did an avg speed of 29km/ph or almost 30 which was my goal (in fact i did 31 most of the time), but i came 18th place overall! wooooot!! totally stoked that i actually was in the top 5-10%.
Also i met a girl who won a spot prize in a race she was in over in aussie, the spot prize was to get a free trip to NZ to particupate in the race and spend time with Sarah Ulmer. Anyway we got along like a house on fire, swapped email addresses, and i got to hang out with Sarah Ulmer again some (who by now recognizes me lol)
Heres the obligatory photo with her, this time i look a similar size to her instead of dwarfing her.
i tell you im knackered though. but the girl who i made friends with was 3 mins behind me, and shes an aerobics instructor and personal trainer. beating her sure made me feel good! she does 4 sessions of aerobics and other stuff a day plus cycling!
woot, im sore 3 days later, but down a couple more lb. 6.8lb to my final goal! horay!
Though its probably gonnas go back up again, this is my low point of the month, 3rd day into Auntie Flow (the monthly curse).
